First of all- I love how we, as viewers of Anupamaa, can accurately demarcate between the actors and the characters. That, it’s totally okay to say an actor loyally abd purely played their character well … V played the possessive, complicated, and limited introspection man-child well. I think when AnuRaj first divorced, they had a music sequence and all that but the moment seemed to be a fast forward. Immediately Rakhi Dave and Kavya pushed the marriage track. Anu also had many changes: cancer, living alone for the first time, and unaware of who she was. I never felt that feeling of closure. The tracks and drama dragged and these unresolved issues never were addressed. Many times V was aware of Anu’s worth but couldn’t come to terms with it. Finally, even if part of it is for his own growth and benefit, they’ve come to peacefully part ways. Staying true to himself, he acknowledges that he’s going against the grain of his character but this swallowing of ego is done for his own “aage badh” moment. Deep down, he also feels for Anu - he realizes that they don’t need to hinge on one another and she’s proven that she can be with his family without being involved in his life.
Part of me wonders if his madam asks him to create problems btwn MaAn, if she’s grey and a wrench, will he? I think he would but I hope not
I loved MaAn. All of it. Her face during the sequence was a bit blank and in a state of thought .. I think it’s the story’s way of using emotion to propel the story. Not everything needs to be said aloud. She’s shocking herself but she’s ready for it all now. Just hate that her moment and essentially Anuj’s is ruined by one thing or another- gundas, perhaps a female vamp 🤣 gosh, I should think positively but I’m conditioned to wonder when the other shoe will drop with iTV. Thankfully this show has tried to flip the script many times.
I had those major foreboding feels with Anuj saying malvika is above friendship & love (thankfully GK seems to be annoyed by her). I wonder if she’s connected to Anuj’s parents’ passing.
Side note: did anyone notice that they asked Kinju to call Pakhi and Nandini for jalebi and rabdi BUT not Kavya 😂
